After I saw the video for Army Dreamers, I knew what the sound was. But until then, I always thought it was the sound of a slide projector... This mistake gives the song a very different visual imagry (which, of course, after seeing the video a few times, I no longer have, which is a pity, because I like my imagry of the song better than Kate's embarrassing little romp through the woods). Which brings up another thought: Except for the HoL-era videos, IMHO Kate's videos can't really be judged by "better" and "worse", only by "not quite as embarrassing" and "really embarrassing" (TD and N4E-era ones fall into the first KaTegory, for the most part, while most of the rest squarely fall into the second). OK, many folk's pre-eMpTy Vee videos seem "lame" by our jaded standards, but you'ld think KaTe, of all folks, would know better... -Stev0 When will KaTe tour? Sometime right after the Republicans vote to cut defense spending, Wilson Phillips comes out with a good album, and folks line up for blocks to see "Ishtar II"
